[Suggestion] Flathub

It would be really awesome if this project was published on Flathub, even as a command line tool, to allow more people to use it with ease.

If required, I could try helping getting this done!

Thanks for the suggestion! I had actually started looking into this back around this past December but didn't have the time to take care of it.

Now, unless this has changed since the last time I messed around with it (2 or 3 years ago iirc), Flatpak packaging only supports applications with GUIs, so I would need to add one to this project. Tauri with Svelte as the UI would be ideal since I am very comfortable with Svelte and the UI should stay pretty consistent on all supported OSes. Otherwise, Relm4 seems promising but is GTK-based, so it would look out of place on Windows and macOS.

My day job work is pretty light this week, so I'm going to try to get this done. I hope to at least have a workable GUI by the end of this week. I'll let you know here if I think I could use any help.

A Tauri-based UI would be awesome! If you manage to create one, you can then leave the Flatpak packaging process on me, I'll open up a PR!

Additionally, if/when you make the UI, I suggest you slightly refractor the code so as to be more modular in supporting translations, since now the outputs are hard-coded in English, which makes sense for a script, but not for a program with a user interface.
